I have been cutting dairy from my
diet. Not completely, but enough that I could say I eat it on occasion. I still
have an ice cream here and there and I cannot pass up cheese if I go out or
attend an event. But I have definitely stopped buying cow milk for more than a
year now. I have just switched up my yogurt to coconut yogurt (but that thing
is expensive). I do not buy cheese anymore only eat it outside my house. I have
butter but it is used for baking purpose or if I want to cook something and I
want that butter taste. But even that, once I am done with that small
piece of butter left, I will not buy more unless needed.

As far as dairy products, I feel I am doing good. Where I need to work
hard is reducing my fruit consumption. I after reading a couple of blogs and
having conversations with other people on this healthy journey, I realized that
I was eating too much fruits and I needed to reduce it. So, as soon as I am
done eating all the fruits I have in my fridge, I will attempt to spend a whole
week with only eating fruits 2 times during that week or go cold turkey. I
don't know how it will go but I want to try. I have been able to remove mil
from my diet, I should be able to reduce fruits.

I do not take sugar in my teas or things like that but we know that you
can find it in a multitude of food. I just try to pay attention to the sugar I
consume and one of the ways is to reduce my fruit intake. I am certain that I
will see results afterward while. at the beginning, my body will probably
be in chock but it will get used to it.

Eating healthy is a muscle one need to train like everything else. I am
on a journey and I can't wait to see where it leads.
